Drum roll please.....



"Cleveland Rocks!"
{Or at least we are hoping it does...}
'cause that is where we will be living for the next 5 years!

Today is "match day" and we just found out we matched to Case Western's oral surgery program.

Apparently we will:
be referred to as "Clevelanders"
become fans of the Cleveland Indians
{who needs the Sox anyway...}
will refer to our city as either --
"The Cleve" or "The Land"
and we will be regulars at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame

Awesome!
Case is only 5 years as opposed to 6 and it will only be one year of medical school.
And B and Alli are only a 3-4 hour drive away!
Wahoo!!

  4. I bet that it feels good to know where you'll be calling home for the next five years; I was rooting for California but am stoked that you guys are going to be living it up in Cleveland...and I will also venture a guess that you will become staunch Ohio Buckeye fans as well. Apparently they are all the rage. :)

  10. Your Mom is on Cloud 9 today, seriously. I must give her a call. It is going to be so nice to get together with your family for holidays easier. Just a quick drive. I am so happy for you and happy for me your computer is working.

  11. Hey! I just saw your mom the other day (outside of Kohls because we were both shopping) and she told me you were waiting to find out where you were going to match. Congratulations! I also didn't know your hubby was going to be an oral surgeon! HOLY SHNIKES. You are going to be in school for like a 89 more years, but you'll be making like $100,000,000 when he's done! :)

    Only one year of med school? That must be music to his ears! We are a year and a half away from residency ourselves and every milestone feels so monumental!

    I promise, we'll both get there.

    Someday. :)

    Ohio will be great. We almost moved to Dayton for our rotations. Almost. Instead, we're going to Kansas.

    Okay, I'm going to stop talking now. :)

    Congrats again!

  13. How exciting to finally know where you will be! My bff (since birth) Tara Phelps Huish lives very close to Cleveland. I will introduce you two through email. You will love her.

    You really out did yourself at the party! My gosh you are amazing w/ felt! And the puppet theater! I bet you just whipped that out on the spot!! You ROCK! I wish you were moving to Houston and could come and give me lessons on how to increase my coolness. Love you babe. Congrats to Ty! And happy birthday little sweetie!

  17. OH, i am so mad, you go to Cleveland right after we leave!!! You will love all the people there- they are great. You will be in a ward with all students again! The best part is you get WAY more for your money there! You will love kirtland and I am sorry to say that the hall of fame is not so great. But people are die hard browns, ohio state, cavalier fans! Just like boston!! And there is enough snow there fore the whole world! You will have to look up Connor's sister's family, they still are there! If you need any help, let me know.

  18. Congrats Ty and Megs! Cleveland doesn't yet know what a treat they have in your family moving there! I have to agree with Jill...I really think you should check out Mimi's blue eyeshadow...and wear it especially on the days you want to stand out in a crowd! Happy for you and the Brennan McKinlays...here's to the next 5 years!

  19. Cleveland does rock!!! I served my mission there and it is the best place. Kirtland is so close and amish country is only a couple of hours away. The people are fabulous and Case is an awesome school. You will love it!!!!!!! I hove nothing negative to say about that place. Sweeeet!!!!!! There really is so much to do and see and so much church history all over the place even out side of Kirtland a lot of really cool things took place. Let me know where you end up living and I will see if any of my old friends and still there to help you!

  22. Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you.

    That is where our friends Garn and Julie are at. Garn is attending the Cleveland Clinic which is right by Case Western (I am pretty sure). Ty graduated with Julie. That is great! We are so excited for you guys.

  24. We're all thrilled for you! I'm thrilled for myself as well. I was really jazzed about Kirtland but then I read in your comments about Amish country and I'm beside myself!!!! Ohio here we all come.

    Ty, you're as good as they come. We're so pleased for you.

    Love ya'all, Mom
